ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Rich leads the data practice at AND Digital, and he's not buying into the "AI's coming for your job" panic. If anything, he believes everyone else in the business is about to need the exact skills data leaders already have. His argument is that data's moved through three distinct eras: warehousing, then impact and value, and now the agentic era, where the gap between having an insight and acting on it has basically closed. And this, he says, is the time for data leaders to step up and own that space.
We cover:
- Why Rich thinks data leaders are best placed to own the agentic era
- His three-eras model of data, and what's actually different this time round
- The paradox of modern data teams: everything's changed, but also nothing has
- Why AI's real bottleneck is context, not intelligence, and what that means for semantic data layers
- His framework for building a business case a CFO will sign off on, including why joint sponsorship matters
